Interesting fact
The Visigothic Kingdom, which issued the 5 Nummi coin, was a Germanic kingdom that ruled much of the Iberian Peninsula (present-day Spain and Portugal) from the 5th to the 8th century. The kingdom was founded by the Visigoths, a Germanic tribe that had been invited to settle in the region by the Roman Emperor Honorius in the 5th century. The Visigothic Kingdom was known for its military prowess, its cultural achievements, and its influential role in the development of medieval European society.
